Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Erskine, MN.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Erskine would include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
