Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Stony Point, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate 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, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Stony Point can include detoxification treatment that are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
