Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - South Barre, VT.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time 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. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
