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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in West Point would include detoxification treatment which are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
