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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
