Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Hurleyville, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
