Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Stillwater, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, 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 or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they receive drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine 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.
