Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Maryknoll, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to 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 may require critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Maryknoll includes detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
