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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Lewis can include detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
