Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Athol, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
