Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Marathon, 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 recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Marathon can include detox treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
