Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Westhampton Beach, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Westhampton Beach would include detox treatment which are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
