Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mckees Rocks, PA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.
