Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Palm, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping 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 problem continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently 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. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Palm can include detox treatment that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
