Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - West Kingston, RI.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
