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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time 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. Most stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV or AIDS in Richwood includes detoxification services which are safely administered with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
