Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Dubois, IN.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Dubois would include detox services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
