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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems 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.
