Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - St. John, ND.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in St. John would include detox services which are safely administered with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
