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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Elmer can include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
