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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may 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. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Addiction rehab for persons with HIV/AIDS in Shoreview can include detoxification services that are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
