Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Kings Park, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

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 people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

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