Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Bohemia, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting 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 spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they receive addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Bohemia can include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
