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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
