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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Homer would include detox treatment that are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
