Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Monticello, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

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