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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Cologne would include detoxification services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
