Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Victoria, MN.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical help once they receive drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
