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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems 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.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Fairview would include detoxification treatment which are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
