Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Lorimor, IA.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
