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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate 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 urgently need significant medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
