Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Canajoharie, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems 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.
