Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Oakland, NE.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies 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 medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
