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

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to 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 concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.

Drug or alcohol abuse treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Jacksonville can include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services persons with HIV or AIDS become motivated to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other people have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
