Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Huntington Station, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
