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

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

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation 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 problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Elmont would include detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
