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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS.
