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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
