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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Norman would include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
