Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Long Island, ME.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Long Island would include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
