Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Georgetown, MN.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative 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 or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
