Infectious Disease Services

For further information or questions, please contact natalie.dumont@ct.gov

Infectious Disease Services are offered in the context of substance use treatment to clients who are already admitted to a particular program. Each high-risk admission and his/her counselor mutually develops a risk reduction plan. HIV Counseling and testing is offered in this context, and all HIV seropositive clients develop a treatment plan determining their HIV needs and priorities. Counseling and testing is also offered for Hepatitis C and Tuberculosis, with referrals made when appropriate. Prevention/case management services and education are offered to clients as well as their families and significant others.
