Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Newtown, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Newtown would include detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
