Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Middletown, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Middletown can include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
