Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Garrett, PA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle 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 give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.
