For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
Often, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Indiana would include detox services which are safely administered 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 recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
