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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing 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.
