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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
