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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate 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 need serious medical intervention once they do get substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Nimrod would include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is recommended.
