Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Keystone, IA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
