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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems 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 problems.
