Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Somerset, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
