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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation 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 general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems 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 disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Jamaica can include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
