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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Greenwood can include detox treatment which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is recommended.
