Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - South Canaan, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in South Canaan can include detoxification services which are responsibly handled 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 sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
