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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline 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 medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see 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 disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Dexter includes detoxification services that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. 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 goal is strongly encouraged.
