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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle 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 quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Wilburton would include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
