Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mount Sinai, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative 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 problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
