Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Cogan Station, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems 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.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Cogan Station includes detox services that are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
