Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - North Kingstown, RI.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in North Kingstown would include detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind.
