Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Vernon, NJ.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time may 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 medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
