Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Gregory, SD.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have 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 problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Gregory would include detoxification treatment which are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
