Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Smithland, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a 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, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Smithland includes detoxification treatment that are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is recommended.
