Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Peterboro, NY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Peterboro would include detox services which are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
