Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Shell Rock, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they receive addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Shell Rock can include detox services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
