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

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

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems 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 disorders.
