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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
