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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
