Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Hawarden, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses 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.
