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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative 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 substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
