Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Lafayette, MN.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 problems.
