Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bayport, MN.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical help once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
