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

For persons with HIV/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 treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they receive drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
