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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing 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.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Marion would include detox treatment which are responsibly handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
