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

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

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart 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, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Shortsville can include detoxification services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
