Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Hensonville, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Hensonville would include detox services that are responsibly administered 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 self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
