Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Madrid, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
