Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Berwick, IA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if 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.

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