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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time 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. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation.

This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
