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

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

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Karlstad can include detox treatment which are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
