Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Columbia, PA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems 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.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Columbia would include detoxification services that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
