Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Irrigon, OR.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need critical medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
