Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Minerva, OH.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Minerva would include detox treatment which are safely conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
