Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Barnard, SD.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety 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, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Barnard would include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is recommended.
