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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Gray would include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
