Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Portland, OH.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Addiction rehab for people with HIV/AIDS in Portland can include detox services which are responsibly conducted with both the patient and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same sober goal is strongly encouraged.
