Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Mineral Springs, PA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they receive addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
