Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Hawthorne, NY.

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

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Hawthorne can include detox services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
