Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Eldorado, OK.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
