Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Pine Ridge, SD.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Pine Ridge can include detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is recommended.
