Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Buffalo Center, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they get drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see 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 disorders.
