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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. 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 transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction treatment.

This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
