Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Audubon, IA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Audubon can include detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the 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 persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
