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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Corsica includes detoxification treatment that are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people 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 encouraged.
