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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if 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.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Northpoint includes detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
