Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Plymouth, NY.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
