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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time 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. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
