Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Fort Meade, SD.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation.

This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
