Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lewis, 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 acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
