Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Johnson, VT.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle 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. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
