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

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing 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 problems.

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