Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Cleveland, OK.

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

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Cleveland can include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
