Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Dante, SD.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
