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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
