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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

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