Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - St. Paul, IA.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see 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.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in St. Paul would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
