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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle 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 give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Locustdale includes detoxification services which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
