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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab 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 if their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
