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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing 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 disorders.
