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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline 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, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they 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, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
