Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - West Burlington, IA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals 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 urgently need serious medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in West Burlington can include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
