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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they have 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 disorders.

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