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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting 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 are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Ruthven can include detox services that are responsibly administered with both the client and the 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 recommended.
