Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Geronimo, OK.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial 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, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
