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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time 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. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Westfield can include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
