Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Westerly, RI.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
