Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Savona, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Savona would include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
