Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Portsmouth, RI.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential 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 issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have 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.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Portsmouth includes detoxification services that are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
