For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a 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, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
Addiction rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Pendleton would include detoxification services which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same sober goal is encouraged.
