Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Stratford, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if 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 problems.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Stratford would include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
