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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Lawler includes detox treatment which are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
