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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking 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 Postville would include detox services that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
