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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Sturgeon can include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
