Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - West Winfield, NY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues 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. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in West Winfield includes detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
