Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Providence, RI.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

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