Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Abbottstown, PA.

For persons with HIV or 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 drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems 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.
