Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Washington, IN.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show 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 get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
