Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Smallwood, NY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart 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 medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Smallwood can include detox services that are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons 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 encouraged.
