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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems 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 problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Summit includes detox treatment that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
