Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Norwalk, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline 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 may need significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if 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.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Norwalk can include detoxification treatment that are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
