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

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

Often, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may 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 quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Panama can include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
