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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting 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 are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing 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 problems.
