Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Northfield, CT.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if 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.
