Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Little Valley, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab 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 or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Little Valley would include detox treatment that are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
