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

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

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a 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, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
