Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Somerville, MA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues 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. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems 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.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
