Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Spangler, PA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
