Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Shrub Oak, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
