Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Defiance, IA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if 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.
