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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
