Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Altamont, NY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.
