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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
