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

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

Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Evansville includes detox treatment that are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is recommended.
