Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Springs, PA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing 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.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Springs can include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the client 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 individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
