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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in North Brookfield can include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
