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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they receive drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
