Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Yukon, PA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline 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 require serious medical help once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Yukon would include detoxification treatment which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
