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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they have 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 problems.
