Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Brandon, SD.

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

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Brandon includes detoxification treatment which are safely conducted with both the client 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 persons have the same goal is encouraged.
