Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Fairhaven, MA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
