Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Elk Horn, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Elk Horn would include detox treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
