Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Maquoketa, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. 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 may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
