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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see whether 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.
