Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Thayer, IA.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
