Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Canaan, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle 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 rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate 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 require critical medical intervention once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
