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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, 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 or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients 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 show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems 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 disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Kensington would include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
