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

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.

Substance abuse treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Brothers can include detox services that are safely handled with both the client and the staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is encouraged.
