Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Distant, PA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential 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 should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Distant includes detox services which are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is recommended.
