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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative 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 problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems 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 disorders.
