Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - St. Johns, PA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
