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

For people 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 simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation 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 if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
