Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Walker, SD.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
