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

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

Often, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is recommended.
