Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Townshend, VT.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
