Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Sully, IA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may 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 medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
