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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
