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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping 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 transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Okoboji would include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
