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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical help once they get substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in Hartland can include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
