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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in St. Albans can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
