Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Marion, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Marion includes detox services which are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
