Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Rego Park, NY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Rego Park can include detoxification services which are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab 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 goal is recommended.
