Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Andover, IA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
