Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - White River, SD.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in White River would include detox services which are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
