Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Ogden, UT.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol 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 spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate 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 may require significant medical intervention once they do get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if 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.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in Ogden includes detoxification treatment which are responsibly conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is strongly recommended.
