Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Arapaho, OK.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline because of 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 therefore need critical medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Arapaho includes detox services which are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
