Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Brooklyn, CT.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time 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 quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems 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.
