Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Carter Lake, IA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate 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 may need serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Carter Lake can include detoxification treatment that are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
