Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Columbus, NJ.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
