Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Pine Island, MN.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative 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 substance abuse issue continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS in Pine Island can include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
