Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Lakewood, PA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central 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.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

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