Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Richmond, MN.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other problems 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.
