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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS.

Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
