Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Leonard, OK.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV or AIDS in Leonard can include detox services that are responsibly handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
