For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.
In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate 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 urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Addiction treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Hennepin includes 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 can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is recommended.
