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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

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