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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping 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 if their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses 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.
