Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Dover, MA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
