Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Zieglerville, PA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
