Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - St. Ansgar, IA.

Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may 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.
