Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Dover, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and 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 are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
