Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Emporium, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol 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 are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.

This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
