Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Garner, IA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Garner can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
