Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Athena, OR.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting this client in rehab is not only crucial 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 should their substance abuse issue continue.

Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Substance abuse treatment for persons with HIV/AIDS in Athena would include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through holistic services, psychotherapy and counseling people with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other individuals have the same goal is recommended.
