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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
