Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Slippery Rock, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
