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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do get drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
