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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses 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.
