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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Bixby can include detox services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
