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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
