Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - West Bend, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive 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, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
