Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Yorktown, IA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a 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 problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Yorktown includes detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
