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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate 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 therefore require serious medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Dewar can include detox services that are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
