Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Newport, MN.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine 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.
