Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Jefferson, SD.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Jefferson includes detox services which are safely conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
