Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Chester, CT.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation 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 disorders.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Chester would include detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
