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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses 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.
