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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in New Alexandria includes detox treatment which are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
