Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - St. Clair, PA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in St. Clair includes detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the staff in mind.
