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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

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