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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
