Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Okaton, SD.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing 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 disorders.
