Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Essex, 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 at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that 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 disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Essex would include detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
