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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Provincetown can include detoxification treatment that are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
