Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Roxbury, VT.

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

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems 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.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Roxbury includes detoxification services that are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
