Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Pocola, OK.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
