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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
