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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Lexington can include detoxification services that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
