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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam 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 problems.
