Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Boston, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Boston can include detox services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
