Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Alexandria, SD.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Alexandria would include detox services which are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
