Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Dubois, ID.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Dubois would include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services 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 recommended.
