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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative 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 should their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Bridgewater includes detox services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
