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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Blue Grass would include detox services which are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
