Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Lexington, 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 addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Lexington would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
