Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Princeton, NJ.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions 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 do get drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Princeton includes detox services that are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
