Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - West Warwick, RI.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in West Warwick can include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
