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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the 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, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
