Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Orchard, IA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Orchard would include detox treatment that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
