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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Island Park can include detox treatment which are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
