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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Biwabik can include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is recommended.
