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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether 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.
