Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Huntington, NY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Huntington would include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
