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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients 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 problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Latham can include detoxification services which are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
