Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Hunter, OK.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether 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 problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Hunter can include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
