Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Meridian, OK.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing 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 disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Meridian can include detoxification treatment that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
