Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - St. Olaf, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
