Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Astoria, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
