Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Fishers Island, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time 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 may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
