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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing 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.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Hastings can include detox services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
