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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Luther can include 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 inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
