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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment 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.
