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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in East Amherst would include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
