Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Douglas, OK.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
