Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Keokuk, IA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
