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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether 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 rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in East Chatham would include detox services which are safely handled 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 self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
