Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Glenolden, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Glenolden can include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
