Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Leeds, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Leeds would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
