Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Rathbun, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing 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.
