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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require serious medical help once they receive drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
