Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Merion Station, 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 addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Merion Station can include detox services which are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
