Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Piffard, NY.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
