Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Allison, IA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and 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.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

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