Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Westport, SD.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Westport includes detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
