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

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

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems 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 problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Pittsburgh would include detox services that are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
