Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Winthrop, IA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Winthrop includes detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the client 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 recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
