Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Kensal, ND.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of 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 urgently need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

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