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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
