Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Swink, OK.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they have 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 disorders.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Swink includes detox services which are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
