Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ferndale, PA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central 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 drug problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
