Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Guilford, CT.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to 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 may require serious medical help once they get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they have 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.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Guilford would include detox services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
