Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Smithtown, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic 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 recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems 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 problems.

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