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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
