Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Florence, SD.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing 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 disorders.
