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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
