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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing 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.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Waban would include detoxification treatment which are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
