Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Athens, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.

Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses 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.
