Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Lorraine, NY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Lorraine would include detoxification treatment that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
