Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Port Allegany, PA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who fight 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 don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
