Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - St. Vincent, MN.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS in St. Vincent would include detox services which are safely administered with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
