Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - West Lafayette, OH.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. 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 substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in West Lafayette can include detoxification services which are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
