Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - West Oneonta, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing 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 rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in West Oneonta would include detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
