Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Alberta, MN.

For people 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 acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both issues 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. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do reach drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
