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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
