Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Winchester, MA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
