Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Columbus City, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
