Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Riley, IN.

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

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Riley would include detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
