Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Ree Heights, SD.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have 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.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Ree Heights can include detox treatment that are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
