Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Harmony, 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 acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine 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.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Harmony would include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
