Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Ripley, OK.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Ripley can include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
