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

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

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

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