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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Berlin can include detoxification services that are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
