Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lawrence, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
