Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Brightwaters, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
