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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
