Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mercer, ND.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.

Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they receive drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

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