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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. 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 may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Hollis would include detox treatment that are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
