Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Central Bridge, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential 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 or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Central Bridge would include detoxification services that are safely conducted 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 sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
