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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
