Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - South Burlington, VT.

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

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in South Burlington would include detox services which are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people 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 recommended.
