Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Fairfield, CT.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems 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 problems.
