Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Lakewood, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
