Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Bison, OK.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab 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 drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Bison would include detox services that are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
