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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if 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 problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Larchwood can include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
