Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Happy Valley, OR.

For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.

Often, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to determine if they have any other illnesses 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 problems.
