Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Aurora, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may 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 medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Aurora can include detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
