Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Arcadia, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Arcadia can include detox treatment that are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
