Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Cleveland, ND.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical help once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

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