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

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

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in North Amherst can include detox services that are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
