Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Cookson, OK.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Cookson would include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
