Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - East Berne, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in East Berne would include detox services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
