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

For people with HIV/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 drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
