Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Cleveland, MN.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. 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 Cleveland would include detoxification treatment which are safely administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
