Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Fort Edward, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
