Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Mangum, OK.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently 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. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
