Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Cambridge, VT.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline due to 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 may need serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Cambridge can include detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
