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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing 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 problems.
