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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Lakota would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly administered 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 self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
