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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently 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. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses 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.

Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
