Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lakeland, MN.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Lakeland would include detoxification treatment which are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly recommended.
