Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Burlington, IA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, 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 or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses 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 problems.
