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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only essential 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 or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for people with HIV or AIDS in Wilmot includes detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
