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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of 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 therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
