Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Walker, IA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting 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 drug issue continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Walker includes detox treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is recommended.
