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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation 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 illnesses 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 disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Stephentown would include detoxification services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
