Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Elliott, IA.

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

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
