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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Spencer would include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
