Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Cambridge, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get 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, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Cambridge includes detoxification 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 can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
