Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Dormansville, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Dormansville can include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals 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 encouraged.
