Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Wheatland, IN.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may 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. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Wheatland can include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
