Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Ridge, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they receive drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
