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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only central 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 substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Belmond can include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
