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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative 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 drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
