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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Sterling can include detox treatment which are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
