Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Phoenix, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may 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 quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do get drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Phoenix includes detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
