Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Grand Portage, MN.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
