Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Syracuse, IN.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems 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.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Syracuse includes detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
