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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
