Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Elk River, MN.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.

Often, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation.
