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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see 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.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Washington can include detoxification services that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
