Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Mc Laughlin, SD.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
