Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - St. James, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently 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. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in St. James would include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
