Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - St. Marys, PA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative 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 drug problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in St. Marys includes detoxification services that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
