Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Albany, OK.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical help once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
