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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, 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 issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing 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.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Maxwell includes detox services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
