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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Wasta can include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
