Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - West Springfield, MA.

For people 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 rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
