Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Silver Bay, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight 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. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they have 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 rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Silver Bay can include detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
