Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Brentwood, NY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time 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. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
