Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Alderson, OK.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may 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. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Alderson would include detox services which are safely conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
