Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Harvey, ND.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time 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. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Harvey can include detoxification services which are safely handled with both the patient and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same sober goal is strongly recommended.
