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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
