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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Cedar would include detoxification services that are safely handled with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS can become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
