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

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

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation 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 problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Belle Plaine would include detox treatment that are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
