Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Garrison, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they have 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 Garrison includes detoxification treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
