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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the 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 HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
