Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Howard, SD.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
