Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ollie, 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 at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems 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.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Ollie includes detoxification treatment that are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
