Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Wilburton, PA.

For people 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 addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
