Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Kaw City, OK.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug 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 are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Kaw City can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
