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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart 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 urgently need significant medical intervention once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in North Tonawanda can include detoxification services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind.
