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

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

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Willow includes detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
