Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Great Valley, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Great Valley would include detox treatment which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
