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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
