Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Fort Atkinson, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals 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 tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Fort Atkinson includes detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
