Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Alexander, NY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they have 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 rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Alexander would include detox services that are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
