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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Monroeville would include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
