Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - What Cheer, IA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in What Cheer includes detox treatment that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
