Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Norfolk, CT.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Norfolk would include detox treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
