Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Sharpsburg, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Sharpsburg would include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
