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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health 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 medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses 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 disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Calmar includes detoxification services that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
