Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - University Heights, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
