Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - St. Peter, MN.

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

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
