Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Howard, PA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 problems.

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