Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Bristol, 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 rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial 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 problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Bristol would include detoxification services that are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
