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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Jerome can include detoxification services which are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
