Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Ferguson, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have 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.
