Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Shade Gap, PA.

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

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Shade Gap would include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
