Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Austin, MN.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for people with HIV or AIDS in Austin can include detoxification treatment which are responsibly administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other individuals have the same goal is encouraged.
