Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Niantic, CT.

For persons 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 recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Niantic would include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
