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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and 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 transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, people who fight 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. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Iroquois would include detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
