Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Pocopson, PA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
