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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
