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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Hendrix would include detox services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
