Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Elwood, NJ.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Elwood can include detox services which 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 inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
