Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Knierim, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
