Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - New York Mills, MN.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, 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 or worsen.

In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam 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 problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in New York Mills can include detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
