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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab 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 or alcohol problem continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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.
