Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Stony Brook, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
