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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread 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 may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
