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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they receive addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
