Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Cornwall, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
