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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Smithmill would include detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
