Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Bloomingdale, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine 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 problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Bloomingdale can include detox treatment that are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind.
