Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Mc Gregor, IA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

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