Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Barnsdall, OK.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Barnsdall can include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
