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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
