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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for people with HIV/AIDS in Kennedy can include detox treatment which are responsibly administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same sober goal is encouraged.
