Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Exira, IA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive 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, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
