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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing 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 problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Melrose would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals 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 strongly recommended.
