Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Duke Center, PA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
