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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
