Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Scotland, CT.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Scotland can include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
