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

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

Often, clients who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Leonard would include detox services that are safely administered with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling individuals 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 recommended.
