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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health 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 require critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
