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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Columbia includes detox services that are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
