Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Little Cedar, IA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Little Cedar includes detox services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
