Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Ashland, OR.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue.

Often, clients who struggle 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, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse rehabilitation for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Ashland includes detoxification services which are safely handled 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 recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is recommended.
