Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Voluntown, CT.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
