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

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

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Woodside includes detoxification services which are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
