Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Astoria, SD.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

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