Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Wilson, OK.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may 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 stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
