Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Osage, IA.

For persons with HIV/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 rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
