Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Kattskill Bay, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies 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 medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
