Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lykens, PA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Lykens would include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
