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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
