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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

Often, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 problems.
