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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Durham would include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
