Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Washington, CT.

For persons 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 addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses 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.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Washington would include detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
