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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues 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 medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine 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.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Scotland would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
