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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in McCallsburg would include detox services that are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
