Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Armstrong, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Armstrong can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
