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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems 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.
