Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - East Hampton, CT.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
