Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Johnson, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may 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. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
