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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing 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 disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Wantagh can include detox services which are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
