Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Shoreham, VT.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
