Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Shoemakersville, PA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic 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 recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Shoemakersville includes detox services which are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab 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 persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
