Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Shambaugh, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
