Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - North Greece, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting 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 spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
