Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Woodward, OK.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
