Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Summerset, SD.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems 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 disorders.

Addiction rehab for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Summerset can include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is encouraged.
