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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Whiting includes detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
