Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Beacon, 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 drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab.
