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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time 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. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
