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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their 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 are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Nicoma Park can include detoxification treatment that are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
