Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Reading Center, NY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, 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 general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
