Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Palmyra, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Palmyra includes detox services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
