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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Henderson Harbor would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
