Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Leighton, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Leighton would include detoxification services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
