Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Carpenter, IA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Carpenter would include detoxification treatment which are safely 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 goal is strongly recommended.
