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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in West Edmeston would include detoxification treatment that are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
