Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - East Norwich, NY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in East Norwich would include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
