Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Sherman, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle 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 stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

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