Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Rock Tavern, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
