Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Blossburg, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment 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 issues concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
