Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Norwood, NJ.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
