Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Dexter, IA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
