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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline 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 medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing 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.
