For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.
Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Harrisburg would include detoxification treatment which are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
