Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Latrobe, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have 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 problems.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Latrobe can include detoxification treatment that are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
