Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Ingalls, IN.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing 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.
