Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Westmoreland City, PA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
