Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Gibbon, MN.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and 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 issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if 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.
