Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Greenwood, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative 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 drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time 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 therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
