Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Shirley, MA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment 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 transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Shirley includes detox services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
