Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Lake Andes, SD.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, 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 or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Lake Andes includes detox services which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
