Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - New London, PA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
