Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Shirley, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may 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 stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Shirley would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
