Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Port Elizabeth, NJ.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
