Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Sallisaw, 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 addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
