Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Cayuga, NY.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
