Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Smithfield, RI.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
