Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Tunnel, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Tunnel can include detox services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
