Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Chester, SD.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Chester would include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
