Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Columbia, NJ.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
