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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Douglassville can include detox services which are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
