Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Coggon, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Coggon would include detoxification services that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
