Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lake Harmony, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

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