Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Brookside, NJ.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals 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 tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Brookside can include detox services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
