Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Jim Thorpe, PA.

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

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they receive addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
