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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

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