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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping 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 transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Kossuth can include detox treatment which are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
