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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
