Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Cottonwood, MN.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Cottonwood can include detox 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 healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is encouraged.
