Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Oakland, AR.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they receive drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Oakland can include detox treatment which are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
