Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Pitman, 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 adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Pitman includes detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
