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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently 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. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing 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 disorders.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Odessa can include detox treatment which are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
