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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
