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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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.
