Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Westfield, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Westfield includes detox services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
