Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Thousand Island Park, NY.

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

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
