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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
