Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Dickinson Center, NY.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently 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. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation 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.
