Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Saxton, 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 at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
