Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - North Washington, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

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