For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Addiction rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in St. Johnsbury would include detoxification treatment that are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
