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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have 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 problems.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Jonesboro can include detoxification treatment which are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
