Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Canaan, NH.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Canaan can include detox treatment that are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
