Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Michigantown, IN.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative 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 drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
