Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Rush, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
