Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Shrewsbury, PA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show 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 receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have 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.
