Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Metuchen, NJ.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show 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 serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation.
