Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - St. Albans Bay, VT.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
