Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Belle Fourche, SD.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Belle Fourche can include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
