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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab 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 drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Houghton would include detox services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
