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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have 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 problems.
