Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Troy, 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 acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Troy can include detox services that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
