Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Allentown, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Allentown can include detoxification treatment that are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
