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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see 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 problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Ghent would include detoxification treatment which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
