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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine 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.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Sweetwater can include detoxification treatment which are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
