Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Rickardsville, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

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