Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Popejoy, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they receive addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
