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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
