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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
