Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Shelly, MN.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Shelly can include detox treatment that are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is recommended.
