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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

Often, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require significant medical intervention once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Sacred Heart can include detox treatment that are safely administered with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
