Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Stephan, SD.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility 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 checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
