Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Fort Madison, IA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Fort Madison can include detoxification services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
