Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Clear Lake, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
