Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Gordon, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that 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 tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

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