Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Whitten, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline 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 medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
