Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Altona, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
