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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
