Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Benson, VT.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Benson would include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind.
