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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate 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 therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Stickney would include detoxification treatment that are responsibly administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
