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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
