Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Northwood, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
