Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Colwell, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting 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 transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
