Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Fort Johnson, NY.

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

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Fort Johnson would include detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
