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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
