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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
