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

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Addiction treatment for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Shields would include detox services which are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
